US President George W

leader Saddam Hussein.

Without being specific,
Mr Bush says tomorrow is
a moment of truth for the world.

He made the comments
after a critical summit with Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar
and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

He has urged nations
who have voiced a commitment to peace and security to demonstrate that
commitment by supporting the disarmament
of Iraq.

"The United Nations
Security Council in resolution 1441 has declared Iraq in material breach
of its long-standing obligations, demanded
once Iraq's full and immediate disarmament, and promised
serious consequences if the regime refused to comply," he said.

"That resolution
was passed unanimously and its logic is inescapable, the
Iraq regime will disarm itself or the Iraqi regime will be
disarmed by force."

Mr Blair has made a "final
appeal" for the international community to issue a clear ultimatum
authorising force if Iraq does not give up
its weapons.

"We make a final
appeal for there to be that strong, unified message on behalf of the
international community that lays down a clear ultimatum to Saddam,
that authorises force if he continues
to defy the will of the whole of the international community,"
he said.

"I think it is so
important that even now, at this late stage, we try to get the United
Nations... resolving this."

He said Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein "plays these games, and we carry on allowing him
to play them."

"Now is the moment
to decide, whether we meant it or simply whether we are going to drag
out this process forever," he said.

"Because
the threat is there and everyone accepts it.

The threat of weapons
of mass destruction, the threat of weapons of mass destruction in the
hands of terrorists."

Chirac

French President Jacques
Chirac has said he could consider a 30-day timeline for UN weapons inspectors
to wrap up their work in Iraq.

In pre-recorded interviews
to be played on American television, the French President has said his
country would have no objections if inspectors could work within that
timeframe.

Until now France has
been suggesting another four months would be needed for inspectors to
complete their work.

Last week Mr
Chirac threatened to veto any American proposal in the UN Security Council
that would trigger an automatic military reaction against
Iraq.

While that has strained
relations with the United States, the latest poll in France has seen
his popularity hit an all-time high of 67 per cent.

Blix
advised to withdraw staff from Iraq

In the clearest sign
yet war is imminent, the US has advised the chief United nations (UN)
nuclear weapons inspector to pull staff out of Iraq.

Germany has closed its
embassy in Baghdad, Russia advised its citizens to leave Iraq, and Britain,
the chief US ally in Washington's anti-Iraq coalition, advised its nationals
to leave Israel and Kuwait as soon as possible.

Earlier the US State
Department ordered non-essential diplomats out of Kuwait, Tel Aviv,
Jerusalem and Damascus.

International Atomic
Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei says while he notes the US advice
to pull out, he will wait for a verdict from the UN Security Council.

His agency offsider,
Melissa Fleming, says the US call is not unexpected.

"It is something
that we certainly have been anticipating, at the same time we have been
hoping that it would not come," she said.

European opposition

Germany has joined France
and Russia in disregarding a US-led final round of diplomacy over Iraq.

UN Security Council member
countries are engaged in sustained telephone diplomacy, with the US,
Britain and Spain urging support for a second resolution authorising
force if Iraq does not disarm.

German Chancellor Gerhard
Schroeder says he remains opposed to a resolution legitimising war against
Iraq.

France and Russia remain
opposed to any vote for military action.

Foreign diplomats and
citizens are being advised to leave Iraq and neighbouring countries
such as Kuwait and Israel.

The teams of chief UN
weapons inspector Hans Blix may soon follow.

"We watch it hour
by hour where we go and I am in touch with the secretary-general with
this, because there is UN personnel in Iraq and he and I will keep in
close touch about it," Dr Blix said.

"Evidently the welfare
and the safety of our staff is a paramount consideration for us."

The French Foreign Minister,
Dominique de Villepin, says France cannot accept the resolution that
is on the table in New York.

Meanwhile, a senior Russian
foreign ministry official says the resolution has no chance of winning
UN Security Council approval.

The Iraqi leader, Saddam
Hussein, says he is expecting the resolution will fail. He says he is
prepared for any military action.

"When the enemy
starts a large-scale battle he must realise that the battle between
us will be open wherever there is sky, land and water in the entire
world," he said.

War inevitable: US

American officials are
warning that the only way to avoid war is for Iraqi President Saddam
Hussein to step down.

US
Vice-President Dick Cheney
appears to have gone even further, suggestingwar is inevitable no matter what
Saddam Hussein does.

"We've done virtually
everything we can with respect to trying to organise a second resolution
in the UN Security Council and clearly the President (George W Bush)
is going to have to make a very very difficult and important decision
here in the next few days," Mr Cheney said.

The United States is
poised to launch a final round of diplomacy in the hope of bringing
around UN Security Council members unwilling to support a resolution
authorising military action against Iraq.

And the US State Department
has ordered all but essential embassy staff in the Middle East to leave
the area, signalling war could be close.

The telephone diplomacy
follows a summit in the Azores where the leaders of the US, Britain
and Spain gave the international community until tomorrow to achieve
solidarity.

France, Russia and some
other Security Council members remain unconvinced of the need for immediate
military action.

Iraqi ambassador to the
UN, Mohammed Al Douri, says his country has done everything to satisfy
UN disarmament demands.

"We need some time
to ... give evidence to the international community that there is no
more, any kind, any quantity of anthrax and VX," he said.

'Moment of truth'

US President George W
Bush earlier said tomorrow is a moment of truth for the world.

"Tomorrow is the
day that we will determine whether or not diplomacy can work,"
Mr Bush said after a critical summit with Spanish Prime Minister Jose
Maria Aznar and British Prime Minister Tony Blair at Portugal's Azores
Islands.

He has urged nations
who have voiced a commitment to peace and security to demonstrate that
commitment by supporting the disarmament of Iraq.

"The United Nations
Security Council in resolution 1441 has declared Iraq in material breach
of its long-standing obligations, demanded once Iraq's full and immediate
disarmament, and promised serious consequences if the regime refused
to comply," he said.

"That resolution
was passed unanimously and its logic is inescapable, the Iraq regime
will disarm itself or the Iraqi regime will be disarmed by force."

"It is a simple
choice, people have got to decide whether they are going to allow any
second resolution to have teeth, to make it clear that there is a real
ultimatum in it," Mr Blair said.

"If their positions
do not change, if they are still saying that they will veto any resolution
that authorises the use of force in the event of non-compliance so that
we just have another discussion, if that remains their position overnight,
it is very difficult to see how you can move this diplomatic process
forward."

He said Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein "plays these games, and we carry on allowing him
to play them".

"Now is the moment
to decide, whether we meant it or simply whether we are going to drag
out this process forever," he said.

"Because the threat
is there and everyone accepts it. The threat of weapons of mass destruction,
the threat of weapons of mass destruction in the hands of terrorists."

Mr Blair has pledged
that after any war, Iraq's oil will remain the property of the people
of Iraq, administered through the United Nations.

Mr Bush also says the
UN must have a role in rebuilding Iraq.

"If we use military
force, in a post-Saddam Iraq the UN will definitely need to have a role...
We hope tomorrow the UN will do its job. If not, all of us need to step
back and try to figure out how to make the UN work better."
